Creating Art with Photoshop by Violina Jeliazkova

Every photographer knows about Adobe Photoshop but not every photographer uses it to create art.

In the fashion industry it is very custom to retouch the skin of the models, sometimes using distortion and/or liquify to change the body of the model.

I had the pleasure to visit a two day masterclass Photoshop Art by Violina Jeliazkova at Calumet Photo in Rotterdam.
The first part was about learning how to look at photos. It is all about contrast, light, sharpness and colour.
The second part was all about the many techniques Photoshop is offering.

Studying this photo, I came up with this result. Scrolling down you will find the original and an Art Deco suggestion.

The result

Starting with the photo I smoothened Ismini's skin. As her face was a bit lighter than her body I tried to darken her body part a bit. I removed the man in the background. And desaturated the background so the subject of my photo comes more to the front.
What do you think?

The Original

Art Deco Portrait

With Camera Raw I created with suggestions of Violina Jeliazkova this Art Deco Portrait.
Looking forward to your opinion!

Fashion and art are connected. Inspiration of art in fashion goes a long time back. But inspiration of fashion on art is becoming more and more visable.
To me, as fashion graduate and photographer this connection is inspiring and I love to read, research and write about it.
Any ideas are more than welcome and I hope you will follow me on my journey of research of art in fashion and fashion in art...
